History

Little is detailed about Skrull Torch’s life before the zombie plague arrived on Tarnax IV, though it seems he was deliberately imbued with the same powers as Human Torch after the Skrulls were unable to recreate Super-Skrull.

Lyja held Johnny in a force grip, while T’Challa and Storm, explained that the zombies that had come from the sky had anything to with them, and they wanted to help. The eight of them then make their way to the Skrull Command Centre.

When a zombified Luke Cage burst into the Command Centre, the new Fantastic Four and Skrull Fantastic Four attacked. But finding the zombie to be extremely powerful, they decided to fall back to an escape ship. With Cage in hot pursuit the Skrull Fantastic Four had no choice but to defend the others as they made their escape. But even as the ship took off, they were fighting a losing battle, and become infected.

The newly zombified Skrull Fantastic Four, watched the escape ship unexpectedly lose power and crash back to the ground, at which point they tore through the hull, and faced the new Fantastic Four. While attacking Black Panther, the Skrull Torch was blown out of the air by Storm, and landed, impaled, on a spike in the wall. He tried to burn himself free, but Storm sent a rain storm and drowned his flame. Eventually freeing himself from the wall, the Skrull Torch snuck up behind the new Fantastic Four only to be blasted in the back by Luke Cage’s Power Cosmic.[1]
